Opinion - Business Role Play (15 points) - Minimum 150 words

Opinion - LARP Costumes (15 points) - Minimum 150 words

What level would you personally think appropriate/what level would you prefer? Where would you draw the line?
About you (15 points) - Minimum 150 words
Have you ever tried Role Playing before? If you have, what kind? Did you like it? And if you didn't try before, what kind would you most like to try?

Even though this class does not offer the chance to use the theories we learn in practice, it does not mean that you will not be able to get points for Role Playing. Send a snippet of a Role Play you've participated in to receive points for it: Each post made by you is worth two points as long as each post is at least 100 words long. All plays must of course comply with HOL rules. Make sure your Role Play partner(s) are alright with you sharing your play with me and make sure to clearly indicate which posts are yours. If you do not have a Role Play partner or simply wish to play both sides, you may do so as well.
